Trail Noodling

In this episode, I head out for an easy altitude-focused run from the base of Mount Douglas Park, recording casually from my phone as I climb toward Arbutus Mount. Running low on hydration, I make an early stop at the park’s tap before continuing along the lower trails, noticing recent wind damage and the quiet of the forest. The route follows a classic saddle loop, mixing steady climbing, power hiking, and relaxed downhill stretches while I keep an eye on heart rate and pace. From the top of Arbutus Mount, with views out over the Salish Sea, I wrap up a reflective, low-key effort and call it a day.
